Washington State Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation PO Box 48343 Olympia, WA 98501 Attn: Michael Houser, State Architectural Historian Dear Members of the Washington State Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, I am writing to urge your support for adding the Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicles on the Moon to Washington’s Heritage Register. The Lunar Rover is history’s first and only crewed surface transportation system designed to operate on the Moon. Never has so much imagination, research and public investment gone into the production of a wheeled vehicle, making possible the greatest human explorations of the Moon in 1971-72. At its Kent- based Space Center, The Boeing Company designed, tested and built the four-wheeled vehicles NASA used during Apollo Missions 15, 16 and 17. The Lunar Rovers represent a signification contribution to Kent’s history as a center for space technology development, as well as Washington’s role in the historic Apollo Program. Countless numbers of Boeing employees and subcontractors worked on the Lunar Rovers, and their achievement remains of major historical value to the city, the state, and our nation. I support adding the Apollo Lunar Rovers to Washington’s Heritage Register and appreciate your consideration of the same.

Greetings Michael, Hope all is well! I have been supporting Mayor Dana Ralph and Michele Wilmot of the City of Kent and their brilliant project to recognize the role that our local community played in the Apollo program with the most tangible part being the Lunar Roving Vehicle that Boeing assembled and tested at the Boeing Space Center in Kent, WA. As a proud member of this community I have always believed that Washington’s aerospace legacy is foundational to our state’s reputation for innovation and entrepreneurship and I am thrilled that the City of Kent has discovered an excellent symbol of that legacy with the Lunar Rover. We are currently celebrating the 50th anniversary of Apollo and as part of that I have been visiting a number of our museums and other organizations to give presentations about our local space history, including the incredible contributions that our local Boeing employees made to the Apollo program. What I have been amazed to find is that most of our fellow Washingtonians have no idea what was accomplished right here in our backyard. I found this to be rather sad because it is something that we can all be proud of. The LRV project has given the people of Kent something to be very proud of – now it is time to make Washington proud. As I have been following this project I have discovered that the greatest benefit is the inspiration it is giving to our youth here in Kent, just as the Apollo program inspired me and others in my generation to pursue aerospace careers, the LRV is inspiring the future engineers that are desperately needed by Boeing, Blue Origin and others. I believe there is so much positive benefit to be gained from this effort that I respectfully urge you to have the LRV added to the Washington Heritage Register, if there is any information or help that I can provide to you or your team for this effort please do not hesitate to contact me.

  • Mobile Lunar and Planetary Base Architectures
    Space 2003 AIAA 2003-6280 23 - 25 September 2003, Long Beach, California Mobile Lunar and Planetary Bases Marc M. Cohen, Arch.D. Advanced Projects Branch, Mail Stop 244-14, NASA-Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 TEL 650 604-0068 FAX 650 604-0673 [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper presents a review of design concepts over three decades for developing mobile lunar and planetary bases. The idea of the mobile base addresses several key challenges for extraterrestrial surface bases. These challenges include moving the landed assets a safe distance away from the landing zone; deploying and assembling the base remotely by automation and robotics; moving the base from one location of scientific or technical interest to another; and providing sufficient redundancy, reliability and safety for crew roving expeditions. The objective of the mobile base is to make the best use of the landed resources by moving them to where they will be most useful to support the crew, carry out exploration and conduct research. This review covers a range of surface mobility concepts that address the mobility issue in a variety of ways. These concepts include the Rockwell Lunar Sortie Vehicle (1971), Cintala’s Lunar Traverse caravan, 1984, First Lunar Outpost (1992), Frassanito’s Lunar Rover Base (1993), Thangavelu’s Nomad Explorer (1993), Kozlov and Shevchenko’s Mobile Lunar Base (1995), and the most recent evolution, John Mankins’ “Habot” (2000-present). The review compares the several mobile base approaches, then focuses on the Habot approach as the most germane to current and future exploration plans.

It contains nothing new except the post script. If you have already read the post, please disregard.) Hi all: In preparation for purchasing an Omega Speedmaster Professional, I have done the obligatory research on the use of the Speedmaster in the NASA space program. Chuck Maddox's excellent article on Omega's history with the Apollo program revealed some interesting facts that I did not know. In brief: The cal. 321 Speedmasters were purchased by NASA for the astronauts' use prior to the introduction of the cal. 861 movement in 1968. Apparently it is generally accepted that only the cal. 321 Speedmasters were worn on the moon during the various moon missions, as the initial procurement of these watches around 1965 was distributed to all astonauts at that time (two each) with as many as twenty still left in inventory and never used following the final Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Apparently, there is no evidence that a cal. 861 Speedmaster was worn by any of the moonwalkers or that NASA had procured any cal.

  • “The Eagle Has Landed” Statue to Honor Apollo 11 Crew
    Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Unveils Moon Tree Garden, “The Eagle Has Landed” Statue to Honor Apollo 11 Crew CAPE CANAVERAL (July 12, 2019) – KENNEDY SPACE CENTER – Today, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex kicked off the Apollo 11 50th anniversary celebrations by unveiling the Moon Tree Garden, a dramatic new accent to the grounds of the Apollo/Saturn V Center. The garden, which features 12 trees grown from seeds that orbited the Moon, also includes a George Lundeen sculpture that depicts Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins in their space suits. The statue, titled “The Eagle has Landed,” is a gift to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex from Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans, the nation’s largest mortgage lender. “As the nation’s top mortgage lender, we treat the impossible as an opportunity,” said Casey Hurbis, chief marketing officer of Rocket Mortgage. “We presented this statue to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to honor the courage and importance of the Apollo 11 mission, who achieved the impossible by landing man on the Moon and into the annals of history.” The Moon Trees were provided by Rosemary Roosa, daughter of veteran Apollo 14 astronaut Stuart Roosa, and president of the nonprofit Moon Tree Foundation. The foundation was created in honor of her father, who took seeds from loblolly pine, sycamore, sweet gum, redwood, and Douglas fir trees on his space mission as part of a joint U.S. Forest Service/NASA project. The seeds, which have all orbited the Moon, were later germinated and planted around the world to share the story of the mission.

  • Spacecraft Deliberately Crashed on the Lunar Surface
    A Summary of Human History on the Moon Only One of These Footprints is Protected The narrative of human history on the Moon represents the dawn of our evolution into a spacefaring species. The landing sites - hard, soft and crewed - are the ultimate example of universal human heritage; a true memorial to human ingenuity and accomplishment. They mark humankind’s greatest technological achievements, and they are the first archaeological sites with human activity that are not on Earth. We believe our cultural heritage in outer space, including our first Moonprints, deserves to be protected the same way we protect our first bipedal footsteps in Laetoli, Tanzania. Credit: John Reader/Science Photo Library Luna 2 is the first human-made object to impact our Moon. 2 September 1959: First Human Object Impacts the Moon On 12 September 1959, a rocket launched from Earth carrying a 390 kg spacecraft headed to the Moon. Luna 2 flew through space for more than 30 hours before releasing a bright orange cloud of sodium gas which both allowed scientists to track the spacecraft and provided data on the behavior of gas in space. On 14 September 1959, Luna 2 crash-landed on the Moon, as did part of the rocket that carried the spacecraft there. These were the first items humans placed on an extraterrestrial surface. Ever. Luna 2 carried a sphere, like the one pictured here, covered with medallions stamped with the emblem of the Soviet Union and the year. When Luna 2 impacted the Moon, the sphere was ejected and the medallions were scattered across the lunar Credit: Patrick Pelletier surface where they remain, undisturbed, to this day.
